Abstract

CEP peptide was synthesized and tested for induction of disease susceptibility using Arabidopsis Col-0. When Colletotrichum tropicale was used as a non-adapted fungal pathogen, the conidia germinated to form hyphal-like structures, which successfully penetrated epidermis, eventually causing disease symptoms. In such case, PEN2-, but not PEN3-dependent resistance was likely suppressed by CEP peptide. Similarly, the CEP peptide-mediated disease susceptibility was also effective to a non-adapted bacterial pathogen. Notably, such induced susceptibility was also evident on Arabidopsis mutants lacking the previously identified receptors, suggesting that the CEP peptide modulates Arabidopsis immunity through an unidentified receptor(s).
